Hey, this is the moment, I'm Brian Koppelman.

Thanks for listening.

My guest today is a repeat guest.

This is a new episode of the show.

And here's the thing, that's the delight about this. My guest who's opening a Diet Coke, you know, I have not had one Diet Coke since I found out Trump drinks so many of them. I haven't had Diet Coke in six months. That'll bring him down.

You think so?

Oh, good job, Brian.

You think that I've done it?

Yeah.

It's my own personal.

It's my personal.

It's my personal way of trying to better myself through my dislike. But here's the thing, the man who opened that Diet Coke, is really and truly one of my best friends. A guy I've known since I was 19 years old, took mercy on me as a young man.

Even though he's much, much, much older than I am.

And I love him. He's one of the greatest comedians I've ever seen in my life.

That's why we became friends. We tell this story on the podcast we did together four years ago.
